Just heard from mission control.
They have give us a GO for the download.

I checked it out myself.
The executable is there.

Houston, reporting download "burn" successful. All systems go.


By the way... after a VERY quick scan I found a missing FSUIPC variable....... GENERATOR_4_BUS_AMPS ...... is apparently missing in the listing.

At a quick glance .....it is a WOW Alan. You've been busy. THANKS!

By the way... where is the "test" function you mentioned?

Hi Alan,

Got it thanks. That's the good part.
The less kind behavior of the new version is that it is giving a lot of errors, unable to connect to fsuipc, quits before it was even able to connect.
Moved all of my old files, did a fresh install, same thing...

It starts at least, but when trying to connect to cards it immediately gives a runtime error 13 'type mismatch' error msg and dies.
Tried it on 3 different PCs with the same result.
Any ideas?

regards
Andras

Alan,
Same thing here.
It won't recognize the Phidget cards and won't connect to FS.
Run Time Error 13!
Type Mismatch.
Then Quits???

You should copy your FS2PhUIPC.ini into the \FSVariable folder after installation.

Are we all using latest phidget.msi ? 2.0.6

[alandyer]

John,

I don't have each and every variable.
Is really easy to add.

Regards,
Alan.

First thing is to get FS2Phidget to connect to cards.
Press the appropriate button.

If Fs2Phidgets does not connect to at least one card you will not be able to connect to FSim.

Usual problem for not seeing cards is old verion of phidgets.msi.
The latest version is 2.0.6 dated March 8 2005.

Alan,
"Connect to Phidget Cards" button now works. Phidget.msi was the problem.
Don't forget to delete old version before installing new or it won't work.
"Connect to Flight Sim" button still yields Run Time Error 13 - Type mismatch!!
Is it a requirement to run FS2Phidget on a separate machine thru WideFS or for testing purposes can FS2Phidget and FS reside on the same machine?
